The young Cuban artist Hanser Lopez Luis, known on social networks for his painting of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, faces possible deportation for being an I-220B case.
"Being deported at this moment would mean ceasing to be me. Here I have my family and I have my wife," said the Cuban immigrant in an interview with Univision.
Hanser is 29 years old, a tattoo artist and lives in Houston, United States. In 2017 he entered illegally and was deported due to the "zero tolerance" policy of Donald Trump.
Shortly after, the young man entered the United States for the second time irregularly and the authorities released him as an I-220B case, which involves a deportation order with supervision.
The artist is preparing his first personal exhibition that will be dedicated to the topic of migration and issues of interest to immigrants.
He commented that his work "The Power of the Brush" contrasts two figures in American politics, Trump and Biden, who this year once again face each other in the campaign for the presidency.
He tried to maintain a balance between both politicians and that is why the perspective changes according to the viewer's gaze.
Hanser Lopez He wants to develop his professional career in the United States and dreams of the moment when he can obtain permanent residence in that country.
In 2023, the United States government resumed the deportation of Cubans with an immigration status similar to that of the young Cuban artist.
At the end of December, a plane with 31 Cuban immigrants arrived in Havana, which was the ninth flight of this type that year.
US authorities have reiterated on several occasions that there are severe measures to stop illegal migration and that those who cross the border will be processed and expelled from the country.
